On my commute to work everyday I get to see the gorgeous LA Philharmonic building designed by Frank Gehry. If I had a back yard fabulous enough to justify it, I would get the Frank Gehry Sofa. It’s currently on sale and almost sold out at DWR.

Cork Ottoman

If theCork Table and Stool by Jasper Morrison seem a little too expensive, here’s an alternative. Personally, I’d save up another $100 and get the Morrison ones, but maybe the proportions or the price tag of this one are friendlier for some of you…

“The stools are shod with teak shoes to match the top of the accompanying table and also prevent the glazed edge of the porcelain from chipping against the floor.”

brown and gray, and the footrest is chrome. comes in three different
